Albright's blog: Easter Sunday at Transforma

Normally we meet in the city in a gray, blah building back behind a few night clubs and gambling facilities near the center of Zagreb. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for our building and all that it offers for us. Today, however, we planned a special service at 11am (in place of 5pm) for Easter out at Roger and Erin Massey's place in the village. The weather was 75 F and sunny...the grass was hyper-green, the flowers were in full bloom, the birds sang a prettier song, and the wind was blowing the other way (so that we didn't smell the chicken poop at the chicken farm next door :-). It was a gorgeous day! To top it off, the Lord gave me a new song yesterday in celebration of Easter and we all really enjoyed worshiping with it today. After our service at 11am, we had a big Easter feast complete with ham, chicken, green onions and radishes (Croatian tradition), and tons of salads to choose from. Then came the deserts...oh the deserts. Lots of guests came today as well...people with broken lives looking for freedom and healing. We think they found good company with us as we shared our stories with them and they saw that God can take a broken life and restore it. Overall, it was an excellent day and we thank God!
